One main reason Robert Downey, Jr. owns being Tony Stark is because he’s so comfortable in suits, as a celebrity, it’s completely effortless. Or so it looks. I realized I was putting off posting this because I was internally asking “Is it too soon to post Robert Downey, Jr. again?” I don’t know I think the answer to that should be obvious, what do you say?

Ten’s Ties

Is it sad, or wonderful, that I recognized this suit without actually being a watcher of the show?

These ties are worth attention, because they are very character building—the suit skews a little old-fashioned, vintage in effect, and the ties play that up without being too wild or attention-grabbing.

Another find from Google-ing along to my brother’s tux discussion, a very handsome officer-of-the-law iteration of a suit. This came up in my search for the Ralph Lauren Dream Tuxedo, which I’m pretty sure it’s not? The lapels don’t look quite like the others, but I could be wrong. That is also an image-search well worth browsing, along with “peaked lapel”, if you want a little menswear pick-me-up… Anyone have any favorite elements of a suit, or of tailoring in menswear?

White, model, completely posed photograph. Three strikes against it, and yet it has a charm. (That’s a derby shoe, by the way.) I do so love motleys of interesting objects, and when attended to by a suited man…

monochromekhiphop: Sanchez .,.and now the double-breasted suit strikes again, in pinstripes. On someone I recognize. I am trying really hard not to like Sanchez, his beauty is oh so obvious. But then when they do things like this to me… By the way, I may have mentioned this already, but it’s been some time so: monochromkhiphop is a totally sweet blog to follow—not the usual k-pop celebrities, but always amazing portrait photographs. I have one female-in-leather-jacket one at the bottom of my drafts I’ve been trying to get the nerve to post for ever.

Lee Joon is a goof, but man is he handsome in a suit, when he’s not trying to be a pop star, and is instead being a social creature….

The skinny tie with a prominent tie bar is nice and sharp, and the collar being just points make it a bit more chic than classic. On a red carpet, it’s all about the small details for men. Too much color or pattern or layering doesn’t seem to work well in such a top-formal setting.

A portrait that gives no quarter, but none is required. Zhao Lei just has a charismatic face. And suits look well on him, though my weakness for denim caused me a little pitter-patter when I surfed his tag. It’s not a neckline that suits many, with such narrow, high lines. But he has the kind of thin neck that will be served by it… And certainly it adds a little more drama to the black and white here.

Chang Chen—I thought I knew that face. But I would not have figured it out without an image search; such a contrasting persona from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. A moody, perfect portrait. The tie is a little odd and adds character to the suit, but because it blends into the shadows here, it doesn’t take the eye away from the scene. The smoke frames the face, though it seems to obscure it. And this is one of the few great photos involving an obvious watch that does not seem to be sheer ad-copy for a top-dollar timepiece.

The Sartorialist strikes again, a blow for the grandeur of middle-age suits everywhere. Seriously, is there anything that could be better in this? They’re pouring wine, but it’s lunch-time wine, a friendship drink, casual. And then their suits are so classic: shirt, vest, tie, coat. But they are not trying to be anything but suits. They are modern classics. Man on the left uses a patterned shirt instead of white—with his more bohemian style of haircut the mix is lively, but given balance by a solid tie. The man on the right has a more business color scheme, also matching his hair, and the white shirt sets off his distinguished countenance, enlivened by a wilder pattern in the tie. All this with the exact same form of suit style. I am in tears, like a good Italian, with wonder at how beautiful it is. And apparently this is the way to wear a wide tie: knotted up high so it looks more like a cravat. Brilliant.

Love shots of guys in the backstage mirror—not sure why it’s different from gals, but it is. Probably if the girls were in sharp suits I’d like it pretty well, though, come to think about it…

Suit & Tie is, predictably, my next fashion-song-crush. And now I’m checking out the music video, which is equally shnazzy, especially for the intro. I’m not personally a fan of burlesque shows, so from about the first chorus on, meh. It is a well-dressed video, though, and there are some girl dancers who are not in just stockings and intimates if you look carefully enough. If you want. Meanwhile, hypnotic suited man dancing gif!

Sometimes simple is best. Sometimes simple with a slightly loosened tie is better. Such a foxy photograph, especially with that slight stubble adding to shadow obscuring the face…

gq: Mirrors. Love the sleek, silvery suits, with sleek, skinny ties. The tiebars add just that tiny level of detail that’s sharp. And the faces they’re making are great. Not men who are conscious of their suits, but personalities who happen to be wearing them. Also, there is a whole photoshoot I was thinking of saving for future use, but you know…just go to GQ’s 2011 article on these two…

putthison: Start With a Good Cloth I love this photo by Ethan Desu. It reminds me that at their foundation, all nice garments begin with a good cloth. The man pictured here is Taka from Liverano & Liverano, a bespoke tailoring house in Florence, Italy. His clothes are fairly simple – a navy sport coat, blue shirt, and a burgundy silk tie with medallions printed on it – but what makes them beautiful is how rich and handsome the fabrics look. The slightly fuzzy nap and barely discernible twill lines on the jacket, which is made from a vintage Harris Tweed, are especially appealing. If you take the time to sample enough cloth, and pay attention to what you feel, you’ll soon be able to discern the quality of a fabric the moment you touch it. Good wools, for example, will feel lively and rich in the hand. If you pinch them between your index finger and thumb, they’ll easily roll and sometimes even feel a bit springy. Bad wool, on the other hand, will feel flat, lifeless, and might even be a bit crushable. Bad cottons will also feel a bit “paper-y.” More than these “tests” though, you should always go with your gut, emotive reaction. A good cloth will always look and feel beautiful, while a bad cloth will be dull and uninteresting. In some ways, it’s as simple as that. The online community of men’s style enthusiasts loves to obsess over details that most people won’t notice. I’m not saying a garment’s design isn’t important, but at their core, a beautiful garment starts with a good cloth and a nice cut. Considerations such as patch vs. welted pockets come after.  (Photo from ethandesu) As a fiber artist, I often geek out about textures, and this is a great post on why the quality of fiber used is important. I have no more to add!
